THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 031
Alex arrived home mid afternoon, the drive from his lawyer's office to his house was barely an hour. As he parked his car at the garage, he couldn't help but smile proudly at himself as he imagined the wide and appreciative smile his wife would offer him.Alex stepped wearily into the familiar warmth of their home, his eyes reflecting a glimmer of unwavering determination laced within the weariness. Across the room, Rosy sat immersed in the pages of a book, her lips curving into a welcoming smile as Alex's arrival interrupted the calm and almost deserted atmosphere of their living room."Hey, Rosy, I'm home!" Alex's voice reverberated with a mixture of exhaustion and quiet resolve, a obvious indication of the weight he carried from the day's endeavors.Rosy lifted her gaze from the pages, allowing her smile to brighten her features as she engaged in their customary exchange of pleasantries. "Welcome back, darling. How was your day?" Her words danced with feigned nonchalance, masking t

Immediately Alex left, Mrs. Williams picked up her phone that was lying on the center table and dialed Mr. Brown's digit. She placed the phone on her left ear, impatiently waiting for him to pick the call."Hello..." Came Mr. Brown's drawling tone from the other end of the call. "Mrs. Williams?""Ah, it's good thing you know I'm the one calling you at this time." Mrs. Williams' uttered in a tone that's far from friendly. "Did you not save my digit on your phone?"Mr. Brown chuckled nervously. "No, Mrs. Williams, it's nothing as such." He explained, trying not to sound as nervous as his chuckle had sound. "I'm only surprised to see your call out of the blues, it doesn't seem so you.""Ah, I see..." She said, nodding her head as though Mr. Brown was seeing her. "I just want to make a quick call that shouldn't take long, well that depends on you though. I trust you will give me the answers to every question I ask, no?""Sure, why not?" Mr. Brown replied back almost immediately. "We've kn

The early months of Alex's marriage did not seem as optimistic as he had expected —he had thought getting married to Rosy would ease all his pains and show him what it truly means to love and be loved. It did happened but it was only for a short while; sooner than Alex had expected, he started experiencing extreme heartache. It was the opposite of what he had expected to happen.Even with Rosy's presence, the house feels as though it's empty and deserted and he couldn't ignore the eerie feeling of someone missing —the non-existing presence of Lisa had made the house not worth staying for Alex.Alex and Rosy's marriage had started with a great enthusiasm as he had once thought that Rosy's joy would filled the abyss in his heart, but over time, the painful truth dawned on him; the happiness of others was not enough to quench the monstrous thirst within him that keep growing as days roll by —it was a feeling he had ignored before their marriage.“What spell has this despicable woman cast

Alex braced himself as he paused in front of the huge iron gate of his mother's mansion. The grandiose estate was a proof to the wealth that Alex's family owned. The wind whip around him, as though it's reflecting the turmoil that was unfolding in his life. It has been barely three months or maybe four since his confrontation with his mother over his decision to share half of his fortune with Rosy.That particular decision had changed their relationship completely. It has been almost four months of silence between the only known Williams —four month since he had last seen her face or step foot into her mansion.The only rare chance he get to see her is in his place of work, at least once every week. “I'm here to see things myself and be sure the company hasn't be sold yet...” That was always her reply. Not having a proper conversation for months seems awkward and he did not know if he still got the courage to face her as of the day he challenged her.Alex recalled his mother's harsh w

Lisa stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the distant horizon as the sun gradually waking up from its slumber and emerging from the darkness. The warmth of its first rays brushed against her face, casting a radiant glow through the room.Her hands, gentle and loving, the gentle curve of her swollen belly, feeling the soft movements of the lives growing inside it —she's already past her eight months and will be due in a few weeks; maybe two or three.In the hushed stillness of the room, a mix of emotions coursed through Lisa's heart. Happiness, tinged with a hint of sadness, painted a delicate smile on her face. It was a smile of anticipation, of dreams woven between the heartbeats of her unborn babies.Anyone would misinterpret that her smile was because of the rising sun. Well, partially true since it made her think of her unborn babies —they are, to her, the rising sun that puts smiles on its viewers lips."I wish for them to be born into a beautiful morning like this..." She whis

Xavier had called Neil and Fred over to Alex's house which was practically his own house too —since he own nothing and was always squandering everything he's ripping off from The Dela Cruz groups, it's now Andy's responsibility to foot every of his father's bill. Xavier wasn't even ashamed of his irresponsibility, instead he saw it as an opportunity to exploit his children, Andy and Stephanie, and sharing whatever he gets from them with his brothers, Neil and Fred. Andy wasn't tired of his father's act nor did he complain, not even for once. To him, it's way better than seeing him exploiting money from the Dela Cruz groups like he used to in the past. Temporarily, the three brothers has forgotten about the existence of the Dela Cruz and had focused on Andy and his sibling instead. Late in the afternoon that day, Neil and Fred had arrived with Ella tagging along with her father, Fred. Ella is literally a stay at home lady since she as well has no job to call her own and has been re

Mrs. Williams left the hospital, her heart heavy with the weight of the conversation she had just endured with the doctor —she couldn't help but wondered how Dr. Slavin had rejected her without putting her request into consideration; it really hurts, she must confess. As she drove to The Williams Corporation, her mind raced with worry for her son, Alex. She knew she couldn't keep the news from him forever, and she dreaded the pain it would cause him. But she also knew that she had to be the one to tell him even though she feared the outcome of it.Arriving at The Williams Corporation, Mrs. Williams hurriedly made her way to the receptionist's desk as though she's trying to avoid a greater force. "Is Alex in his office?" She asked, trying to keep her voice steady. "Did he come to office today?"The receptionist, with a wide smile that was reaching her eyes shook her head slowly as she recognized who Mrs. Williams is —the former CEO of the cooperation before Alex took over it. "I'm so

"There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha

The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go

When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her

"I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I

As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

"Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 064
Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 063
It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog

Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
